Resend integration
Connect Resend with your Softr applications to send reliable transactional email and manage your audience from your workflows. Deliver confirmations, notifications, and scheduled messages the moment users act in your app — and keep contacts and segments in sync automatically.
Overview
The Softr Resend integration lets your workflows send emails through Resend and manage the contacts and segments behind them. Send a message when a form is submitted or a record changes, schedule or cancel deliveries, and add every new sign-up to the right audience segment — all from the workflow editor.
In a typical Softr app, Resend handles the email side of every interaction: a client books through your portal and gets a confirmation, a new member signs up and joins your onboarding segment, an order status changes and the customer hears about it — reliably and on brand.
Available Actions
Send email
Send a transactional or notification email — confirmation, receipt, alert — with content built from your app’s data.
Get email
Look up a sent email to check its status or reuse its details in a later step.
Reschedule email
Change the delivery time of a scheduled email when plans move.
Cancel email
Stop a scheduled email from going out — for example, when a user cancels or completes the action early.

Remove a segment you no longer need.
Add contact to segment
Place a contact into a segment when they take an action — upgrade, register, or express an interest.

Take a contact out of a segment when their status changes.
Key Benefits
- Email that reacts to your app: Every form submission, sign-up, and record change can send exactly the right message, automatically.
- Audience stays current: Contacts and segments update themselves as users act — no manual list maintenance.
- Scheduling built in: Schedule, reschedule, or cancel deliveries from the same workflow that created them.
- No-code setup: Configure sender, recipients, and content visually, mapping in data from any step.
Example Use Cases
